Indonesian-style chop suey. Cap cay (pronounced: tsaap tsaay, traditional Chinese: 雜碎, simplified Chinese: 杂碎, hanyu pinyin: zá suì) is Indonesian food that is from the influence of Chinese food. Indonesian people already adapt this recipe and is eaten everywhere throughout Indonesia by everybody, not only by Indonesian Chinese. But Indonesian Chinese version is more elaborate and consists of more ingredients including chicken liver and baby corn.

The word "cap cay" is from Chinese Fujian dialect which means "mixed vegetables". Americans know this food by the name of "chop suey" but the Indonesian style is a bit different. Many people think that this recipe must use ten kinds of vegetable because the word "cap" in Fujian dialect very much resemble the word "cap" from that very same dialect which means "ten". But actually, how many types of vegetables used is not important.

Although this is a vegetable recipe, you can add pork, beef, chicken, tofu, meatball, fish meatball, or shrimp too. Actually, you can add all kinds of ingredients you think would fit in. Pork is usually used by Indonesian Chinese. Indonesian Muslim replace the pork with beef or chicken. This recipe is very easy and fast to cook.
